One story is about a young woman reinventing herself to be the person she’s always dreamed of being, and finding the love she’s always desired in an unlikely place. How about a young couple separated by a misunderstanding, who after 20 years get a second chance at the love they let slip away? Then there is the story of a single mother who lives solely for her daughter’s happiness where that daughter has other plans… to help Mom find love again. A personal favorite of this reviewer is one about a young woman, scarred physically and emotionally as a result of an abusive relationship who only wants to heal, but finds happiness with a man who should represent all she is trying to escape.

Also to be found is a story about a woman who gets stranded in a blizzard and happens upon the mountain retreat of a reclusive author, and finds love as a result. In one of two paranormal stories in the collection, one woman holds the key to unlocking an ancient curse placed on a pair of lovers several lifetimes ago. In the second, which is another one especially loved by this reviewer, a young lady who has dedicated her life to taking care of her ailing grandmother and everyone else, finally gets the chance to find herself through a passionate encounter with a very mysterious stranger. And lastly, what happens when a married couple loses the spark in their relationship, and one makes it their personal goal to reignite their passion?

If readers are looking for the ultimate sexy romance collection to add to their bookshelves, then this is a “must-add!” Every major holiday is covered in this spicy collection with the prevailing theme of “Love will find a way.” Every story found here is bound to entice readers in so many ways. Passion burns from the pages, scorching the reader’s heart and soul. Ms. Wilde shows brilliant talent in writing short hot stories with characters who are full of life. It takes great skill to get readers emotionally invested in the people and their stories within such a short number of pages, and Ms. Wilde has that in abundance. This reviewer became a devoted fan after the very first story and eagerly awaits more. Fear not readers, more are on the way from the pen of this author!
